We are pleased to see that the presence of the designated heritage asset has been identified within the proforma. Development of this site will need to conserve and enhance this heritage asset and its setting. There is concern that the extent of the
site and the position of development will harm the setting of this designated heritage
asset. Further information is required in order to justify this allocation. Further investigative work will be required to determine what sorts of mitigation measures will be appropriate and where the boundary of the site should be located.

It is recommended that archaeological investigations are carried out prior to development. We request that this is included as a criterion within any site specific policy.

GI: Landscape, parks and open space often have heritage interest, and it would be
helpful to highlight this. It is important not to consider 'multi-functional' spaces only in
terms of the natural environment, health and recreation. It may be helpful to make
further reference in the text to the role GI can have to play in enhancing and
conserving the historic environment.

Setting: Site allocations which include a heritage asset (for example a site
within a Conservation Area) may offer opportunities for enhancement and tackling heritage at risk, while conversely, an allocation at a considerable distance away from
a heritage asset may cause harm to its significance, reducing the suitability of the site
allocation in sustainable development terms. We would expect to see this reflected
in the policy wording and supporting text.

We would recommend that the term "historic environment" is used instead as it encompasses all aspects of cultural heritage and would achieve a more robust assessment of impact to a wider spectrum of relevant variables. The Interim SA contains no information on monitoring and indicators. In preparation of the forthcoming local plan, we encourage you to draw on the knowledge of local conservation officers, the county archaeologist and local heritage groups.
